Third Question

Which way does the girl spin?

End of Round Two

Why This Question:
Point of view, perspective, focusing.

My view:
Yes - It is a old one. And Yes – there is a text between the shapes.
And it can be seen only from further away or blurring or by focusing on the space between. Too easy? Yes.
But this is the same way we miss important information while not investigating seemingly obvious “picture”.

The point is that one should Always look at least twice. And read twice as well. And well.. have more sex.



The following are the answers :

Tester 1:
Testing is like vodka - from a distance everything might seem bright and clear, but closer look gives errors.

Tester 2:
Picture is based on the optical effect and on the peculiarity of how human brain
interprets what we see. Actually the picture is no more than black shapes with some
black lines connected to it. Depending how we focus our sight, either on the objects
themselves or space between them we can see different things. Either three dimensional shapes or text forming out of the space between them. The same can be applied on testing. We can get different results from same area of testing by focusing on it differently!

Tester 3:
1. This picture is about 1/2 of A4 paper size.
2. This picture is monochrome.
3. Consist of tridimensional shapes.
4. Most of shapes are quadrangles.
5. These shapes look like strange characters.
6. It's seems that there are 3 row of text.

Tester 4:
Sometimes close observation does not tell us much about the phenomena we are observing. How do you describe an elephant when you've only seen its trunk? To gain perspective things sometimes need to be observed from afar. In this case the picture is talking to us on many levels. On the trivial level it seems like a pile of lego blocks. But when watching it while being a little further away from the monitor, a priceless aphorism can be observed.

Tester 5:
To see the words in this picture, you must close your eyes a little bit and look through your eyelashes or increase distance from the picture until it becomes readable. So, it is important to know "what" to do and "how" to do it, to understand the picture.

We have to know also how we can do things and what we need to know for doing these things. For that, we have spec., which, mostly, tells us what and how, and our own knowledge. We also have to look at things from a different point of view, from a different angle, because there is always a possibility to do things differently and for that we need to know what we can do and how we can do it.

Tester 6:
Sometimes it's important to read between the lines, do not be distractred by strong contoures. The cut pieces say NO SEX CAUSES BAD EYES

Tester 7:
On the picture there are three depressing situations of not well played complex Tetris game.
There are a number of different shape and size boxes with two white sides and one black side toward us when picture is examined impartially. However usually people are not looking things neutrally and mind is always trying to associate or assume everything with our own knowledge, experience or hunch. It may be positive or negative - it may lead us to a correct answer, however it may also disturb finding one. Things must be examined and described neutrally from different aspects when we like to be objective, precise and accurate.
Although, answers will also give a good describe of testers sexual habits..

Tester 8:
Describing a picture or testing a test object is always in context of previous experience and additional information we have.
As I don't know nothing about meaning or other parameters in sequence of objects visible in picture, then I concentrate on describing visual form of object sequence.

Picture description

I see a sequence of objects with different shapes.
Objects are located in three rows.
All objects are composed from limited selection of shapes.
Maine shapes are rectangular and triangular shapes. Additionally there are rounded corners and sharp(opposite to rounded) corners.

There can be seen some regularity:
If there is rounded corner in object, then there is always sharp corner in opposing side of second or previous object.
Triangular shapes are also opposing each other.
